I always put the card wallet in my front pocket while I’m photographing a wedding, or in a spacious compartment of my camera bag when I’m on a different type of adventure or travel. This cloth and plastic case is not the most rigidly protective, admittedly it’ll be bad news if you putting the card wallet in your back pocket and sit on it, something I’ve never done. (I told you, I own a lot of memory cards! Being both a wedding photographer and a time-lapse photographer, over the past ~10 years I have had many weeks that resulted in 10K+ photos)

I own two of them for SD cards, and two of them for CF cards, plus two more that have space for both SD and CF at once. I store my cards in the same memory card wallet as many, many other photographers: The ThinkTank Pixel Pocket Rocket ($17-22). The P-Touch labels that I print on my cards can snag on the slot itself if a corner comes loose, but if that ever happens, I never try to force the card into the slot.

Memory cards should all be well within their physical lifespan with this much wear and tear, I believe. I only insert/eject the card once or twice a week, and not every single week of the year, so let’s just call it 50-100 cycles per year, for 3-5 years before I “retire” a card. So, honestly? I am very gentle whenever I insert memory cards into a camera and when I eject them. In other words, they’re clearly the poorest quality, but maybe they should still be able to stand the test of time under “normal” use. But, just for the sake of argument, let’s pretend that it’s still my own fault I’m doing something that is causing the Sandisk cards to break. True, there is the glaring fact that I have owned all the different brands, and Sandisk is the only brand that is falling apart like this. The abrasion marks on the card labels, and the overall wear and tear, seems to indicate that I’m doing something wrong. Am I the guilty one, am I doing something horrible to my memory cards that is causing them to break so repeatedly? There’s a chance that is the case. Am I Just Not Taking Good Care Of My Memory Cards?

Bottom line- these cards are behaving like a disposable product I don’t care if a lifetime warranty can be honored or not, the whole reason I buy a product with such a lifelong guarantee is that I expect it to be an indication of truly top-tier build quality because that is what I REALLY need, more than a warranty–a memory card that won’t fall apart on me. However, I just can’t consider warranty replacement to be an acceptable conclusion on such a frequent basis.

Or, at least, the Extreme Pro cards do I think Sandisk does not offer a full lifetime warranty (anymore?) for cards that do not have “Pro” on the label. This happened with Sandisk SD cards as much as 5+ years ago, back when a 128GB SD card was MUCH more expensive! Don’t Sandisk Memory Cards Have A Lifetime Warranty? The memory card “shell” splits open, and the chip falls out.

Yes, I know of at least two or three other professional photographers who have either shown me this same exact type of breakage in-person or described in great detail. Have Other Photographers Experienced The Same Breakage? The rest are Sony & Sony “Tough”, ProGrade, Lexar, and Samsung. (You don’t fit many Nikon Z7 or Sony A7R IV images onto a 16 GB memory card!)Īll in all, in my two memory card wallets that have my 18 most current, “active duty” SD cards, …I believe I am down to my last two that are still Sandisk. They even lasted so long that I retired the 16 GB ones, when megapixel counts jumped to 36 and then 45, of course. In fact, even my set of nearly a dozen “cheap” Samsung SD cards, that I bought on a whim when they were on sale, are all still going strong. In fact, of the dozens of SD cards I have owned over the years, I believe that either 100%, or all but one, of the SD cards that failed in this manner, were Sandisk.Ĭonsidering that I am now at 5-10 Sandisk cards with the exact same type of failure, I can only conclude that Sandisk cards are significantly less well-made than the other brands I’ve been using. Sandisk SD Memory Card Quality Issues / Breakages Inevitably, they split open and spill their memory chip guts. They seem to be more flimsy than any other memory card (make or model) I have ever had. Unfortunately, I’m done buying Sandisk SD cards. Of course, I’ve owned literally dozens of Sandisk memory cards, virtually all of them “Pro” or “Extreme Pro”. I’ve owned pretty much every major brand of memory card, too, from Kingston and others “back in the day”, to the latest and greatest Sony “Tough” and ProGrade.
